The Royal Spanish Academy<\/em> (Real Academia Española, RAE) defines it as "applied to the voice or accent: Very strong, loud or boomy<\/em>" and the “Spanish use Dictionary” of Maria Moliner defines it as "Applied to voice, shout or very powerful sound emitted by a person or an animal.<\/em> "<\/p>\n\n\tIt comes from the Latin Stentoreus<\/em> and this from Greek adjective Στεντ\u03ccρειος and this one from Στ\u1f73ντωρ 'Stentor<\/em>', one of the Greeks in the Iliad known for his strong voice. The Latin dictionaries usually define it as "that belonging to Stentor or to very loud voice<\/em>."<\/p>\n\n\tCertainly Stentor<\/em> is a character in the Iliad. Homer says in Iliad V 784-786<\/em>:<\/p>\n\n\t“there Hera stood still and raised a shout like that of brazen-voiced Stentor, whose cry was as loud as that of fifty men together”.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\t\u1f14νθα στ\u1fb6σ\u1fbd \u1f24\u03cbσε θε\u1f70 λευκ\u1f7dλενος \u1f2dρη

\n\tThe term or figure of Stentor became proverbial already in ancient times. Aristotle<\/em>, in his "Politics<\/em>", offers a city of such size that citizens can meet face each other, because if the city was very large would be very difficult for someone could be the boss; and says in Book VII, 1326b<\/em>:<\/p>\n\n\t“for who will command its over-swollen multitude in war? or who will serve as its herald, unless he have the lungs of a Stentor?”<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\tτ\u03afς γ\u1f70ρ στρατηγ\u1f78ς \u1f14σται το\u1fe6 λ\u03afαν \u1f51περβ\u03acλλοντος πλ\u03aeθους, \u1f22 τ\u03afς κ\u1fc6ρυξ μ\u1f74 Στεντ\u03ccρειος;<\/p>\n
\n\tIn Latin, for example, Juvenal<\/em> refers to him in Satire XIII, v.112<\/em><\/p>\n\n\t“but you, poor wretch, may shout so as to out-do Stentor,
\n\tor rather as loudly as the Mars of Homer”,<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\ttu miser exclamas, ut Stentora uincere possis,
\n\tuel potius quantum Gradiuus Homericus:<\/em><\/p>\n\n\tThe name “Stentor<\/em>”seems to come from the Indo-European root * (s) ten-which means “to scream<\/em>”; in Greek στ\u03adνω, steno<\/em>, means "moan, complain, sigh, whine<\/em>".
